If you have loved Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, then you will want to read Anwar's Story. It is a fictional fable which tells the imagined life and trials of the 'other hero' in Paulo Coelho's famous and iconic story. Karen Williams discovered that, apart from the shepherd Santiago, another 'hero' truly does exist inside The Alchemist. Paulo based his allegory on an ancient tale from The Arabian Nights, without realising that this story contained a hidden archetype - the archetype of Mankind's search for redemption. And so, because of this, The Alchemist is not just the story of one hero, but two! Santiago was only able to find his treasure in Paulo Coelho's fable by encountering that 'other hero', which means that Anwar's Story could be considered the missing piece of The Alchemist - explaining the true meaning of the fable. This piece will allow Paulo's magical allegory to finally become complete, and also address many readers' questions which, until now, have been left unanswered.

New Jersey has the highest proportion of prisoners incarcerated for drug offenses in the country, 36% compared to the national average of 20%. Statistics indicate Hispanics and African Americans are most affected, accounting for 90% of adult drug offenders in the New Jersey prison system. Nonviolent drug offenders in New Jersey are eligible to enroll in a five-year drug court substance abuse program that consists of 4 progressive phases of treatment in lieu of incarceration. This quantitative study employed a convenience sample of 33 nonviolent drug offenders enrolled in a New Jersey Drug Court program. Findings from this research indicated no significant mean differences in coping self-efficacy for nonviolent drug offenders at different phase levels of treatment. This research was a critical contribution to the literature and informs social change efforts in substance abuse program development and education toward decreasing the adverse consequences of drug abuse on legal systems and the overall economy, and toward improving the quality of lives of individuals, families, and communities.
